I got it from all angles yesterday.

Yesterday was an extremely testing day.

Early in the day my sister called me screaming about how her old manager at her old work had sent her one of those forwards about how Obama is the Anti-Christ. She was furious and completely offended. I tried to explain to her that in order to be offended she would need to believe that what it says in the book of Revelation about the end times. And since she doesn't, all she has to do is laugh. If she doesn't believe that the Bible is full of truth and is the Word of God and that there WILL be an anti-christ, then why does she care who is called an anti-christ?? THEN she proceeds to accuse me of also feeling that way.

I don't understand how she calls me to vent about Christians and what Christians have to say about things. Did I not make it clear that I am a Christian?

A few days ago my little brother laid into me about how I was an idiot for voting against legalizing marijuana for medicinal purposes. I explained to him why I voted that way and he ripped me a new one for an hour and 1/2 about how I don't think "logically" and how terrible of a person I was for voting the way I did and since not everyone votes that my vote counts for 1 1/2 other people so I need to think of them. Um, No. My vote counts for MY opinion and MY opinion only. That is the wonderful LIBERTY that we have been given as American citizens, that we are allowed to vote and that our opinion can be voiced... As every other American citizen also enjoys this liberty. But apparently I'm heartless because I have voted against it.

So then he posts this big anti-Christian paper on his facebook. Along with a picture bashing Christianity and McCain/Palin.

I start crying and talking to Jack about how I can't believe my dad doesn't care that my siblings are not saved and that they don't know who Jesus is or what He did for us. I feel terrible about how my MIL and FIL don't care if BIL is saved or not. I just don't get it.

I had such a heavy heart about my siblings yesterday.
